An Introduction to Neural Data Compression

af Yibo Yang

The goal of data compression is to reduce the number of bits needed to represent useful information. Neural, or learned compression, is the application of neural networks and related machine learning techniques to this task. This monograph aims to serve as an entry point for machine learning researchers interested in compression by reviewing the prerequisite background and representative methods in neural compression. Neural compression is the application of neural networks and other machine lea... (Læs mere)
